ACTION ITEMS
COURSE PROPOSALS
ADDITIONS
SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
ANTH 001H HONORS PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program.
ANTH 002H HONORS CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program.
PHIL 001H HONORS INTRODUCTION TO PHILOSOPHY
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program.
PSYC 001H HONORS INTRODUCTORY PSYCHOLOGY
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program.
PSYC 021H HONORS DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY: THE CHILD
Enrollment Limitation: Acceptance into the Honors program.
RATIONALE: These courses are being proposed as part of the Pasadena City College Honors Transfer Program. They are
based on existing courses and must articulate as that course in addition to identifying the course as a distinct Honors version
of that same course. Thus, the course being proposed is largely based on its existing non-Honors counterpart.
By creating Honors courses designated with an “H,” transcripts will show that students have completed an Honors course.
While program completion is currently noted on student transcripts, individual Honors sections of courses are not
distinguished from their non-Honors counterparts, which is a preferable practice for such programs. Such notations are
considered a “basic characteristic of a fully developed Honors program” by the National Collegiate Honors Council. An
additional benefit of distinguishing Honors courses is that enrollment in Honors classes is limited to students in the Honors
program. The current practice is to identify a section of a given course as “Honors” and restrict student enrollment in the class
schedule accordingly. Creating Honors courses where the enrollment restriction is written into the course itself will put PCC’s
enrollment practices more squarely within state policies and recommendations.
